KY Outsider

That's a lot of kids to make space for.

Looks awesome, quite the upgrade.

If he doesn't repeat as Mr. Football, would you consider it a waste of the re-do year?

Isn't it too late to reclassify now?

What big impact players have taken advantage of the reclassification rule?

I am not so sure that this is really a good indicator since this meet was broken into 2 sections and the weather was drastically different for both sections.

Harrison Pawsat from Highlands threw 54'10" and Wilson Pendleton from Ryle threw 51'11" at the Anderson Invitational this past Thursday.

Not necessarily, my son is younger than a lot of kids a grade lower than him but we started him early simply because he was ready. If he wanted to stick around another year, I would support that decision but he has no desire to. He was pretty dominate his senior season as it was so I can only imagine what another year could do for him. I look forward to Saturdays the next few years regardless. In my opinion, this extra year should really be about the academics and athletics should not factor into a decision.

The key is exposure, an athlete can have all the measurables, film and competitive nature but if he doesn't "market" himself, he won't get the offers.

I have a hard time thinking that is an advantage as far as recruiting goes, of course the "5th year" guys get more exposure but is it really an advantage? Now you will have 2 classes of students competing for the same small batch of scholarships.

How is the outlook going into the 2021 Spring Season?

Looks like Ryle is continuing to play tougher opponents than the rest of NKY.

Graves Fryman (Ryle) Thomas More Bradyn Lyons (Ryle) Thomas More Kyle Yarger (Ryle) Centre Connor Lee (Ryle) Centre Lex Briggs (Ryle) Georgetown College Wilson Pendleton (Ryle) Georgetown College Jeremiah Lee (Cooper) University of Indianapolis

Pendleton had 69 tackles, 8 sacks and 12 TFL all while being at least double teamed on every play. He was definitely the best in NKY and statistically toward the top of the list in the state. He freed up space for every player around him. He will be the hardest player to replace production wise.

They lost a few key seniors on offense from this year but they should be better offensively next season. They did lose Pendleton on the D-Line who might have been the best in the state, Cusick at DB and Hungler at LB, all who were important to the defense.

What seniors in the class of 2021 have commitments and where?

You almost wonder anymore if any high school coaching job is really worth the trouble with all the parent involvement anymore.

Probably not but it is a county rivalry that was very heated for many years. Just sad to see it not happening,

Surprised to see no Ryle on the schedule, that has always been a good rivalry.

Indeed, private schools will always have an advantage.

I wonder how that is happening this year with Covid.

Pendleton is 6'3" 230lb and an absolute nightmare for offensive lines. Easily one of the fastest and strongest defenders I have seen this year.

Impressive Stats for him as well. 28 tackles, 11 TFL, 3 Sacks and 2 Fumble Recoveries

1. Wilson Pendleton (Ryle) 69 tackles, 12 TFL, 8 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles 2. Joe Vormbrock (SK) 50 tackles, 13 TFL, 7 Sacks, 2 Fumble Recoveries 3. Kaden Morency (Campbell County) 31 tackles, 4 TFL, 3 Sacks

Who is the best defensive lineman in NKY this year?
